Hi,

Maybe I'm wrong, but in my opinion it is a mistake to use a password 
manager in order to store OTP secrets.

The aim of an TFA is to increase the auth security requiring the 
combination of two different components. For instance something you know 
(a password) and something you've got (a key, a OTP generated on your 
mobile or on a security device...).

Therefore if you store your OTP secrets in the same place than all your 
passwords it makes the whole thing pointless.

Regards,
Alex
